Pyro and the Hulk (book 2: B. Banner X OC)

13

We arrive at a Salvage Yard on the African coast. Bruce stays in the ship so I leave Lilly with him and Jace comes with me. If we did need Hulk to fight the Lilly's suit would fly her to me and automatically clip on to me. 

The salvage yard its self was an old abandoned beach with old cargo ships scattered across the sand. Tony has F.R.I.D.A.Y ,another one of his A.I's, pitched into our coms. 

When we get to the ship Jace gets onto my back and uses his ice to replicate the harness and straps from Lilly's suit to help keep him in place. Since the ship had so many levels I didn't want to risk him falling. He maybe good at flying but he had yet to perfect it without pushing off from the ground.

Nat and Clint enter at a different side to try and take Ultron from the top while Thor, Steve, Tony and I go together to meet him on the ground. When we get close enough we can hear Ultron ranting about he is nothing like Tony. 

"Don't compare me to Stark. That's the thing with me. Stark is... He's a sickness!"

Obviously Tony can't help but make a dramatic entrance so he puts on a disappointed parental voice. "Ah, Junior. Your going to break your old mans heart." Tony lands in front of us as Ultron turns around.

"If I have to" Ultron faces us his voice sounding more defined then before. I feel Nat and Clint's emotions getting stronger letting me know they were close to us now. 

"Nobody has to break anything." Thor's baritone voice seemed to echo off all the metal in the room. I feel my watch buzz slightly making me look down at the screen. Tori was letting me know that the first suit was finished. 

I had avoiding telling the others that I had been to Wakanda before, having a mission to save King T'chaka, as a result I had been given two canisters of Vibranium to use as long as I swore to never make a weapon with it. Until now I've never had a reason so actually use it. So I was currently making two suits.

I turn back to the conversation when I hear Pietro's voice, his accent sounding stronger then before.  "Ah, yes. He's funny. Mr Stark. It's what? Comfortable? Like old times" He walks closer and looks over the side of the bridge down at the explosives below.

I feel Tony's confusion so I explain, kind of. "It was a STARK shell that killed your family?" The twins turn to me in surprise as I step out from behind Tony. I walk closer ignoring Tony's slight protest. 

Wanda walks over to her brother and places her hand on his arm. "Yes. it was." 

"It was the same for me. There was this terrorist organization that had been stealing STARK weapons. They altered on with Radiation to make is more destructive. That's why I have my powers and why my family died. But I don't blame Tony because even though he designed those weapons he wasn't the one to sell them, a person he thought he could trust did." 

I walk forward slowly as I talk until I'm standing in from of them. I hear Tony through the coms asking Jarvis to lift his face plate. "One of my weapons ruined your life and you still call me brother, why didn't you tell me?" He sounds completely heartbroken as he turns his attention to me.

"Because it wont change what happened. Blaming you won't bring them back." I turn back to the twins and give them a sad but understanding smile. I was shocked when Wanda placed he free hand in mine. 

"Where's Lilly?" the young girl questions when she notices my daughter missing. "She's with her father" She nods and I brush some hair away from her face. My son decides to ruin the moment "vhat. vhat" I look over my shoulder to see his perplexed expression as he tries once more to replicate the twins accent. I chuckle and shake my head. When he realises what he's doing he blushes and gives the twins a sheepish look. "Sorry I wasn't making fun. I thought I was doing that in my head"

Pietro smiles and ruffles his hair. "It's okay little man. No harm done" Pietro replicates my accent perfectly. Even though I had lived in America almost all of my life the first 6 years had been spent growing up in London. I had lost most of my British accent years ago. It comes back every now and then if I'm mad, other then that I simply pronounced a few words 'Wrong', according to Tony. 

"That's not my accent" Jace tilts his head, both confused and impressed.

"Your right little cub. It's mine. Remember Mummy's from London." Jace lets out a small 'Ohh' that makes the three of us smile before we hear Ultron clear his throat. I spin around to face him and Jace lets out a high pitched 'weeee' as I do make me and the others smile despite the situation. I give the twins a weak smile before stepping back over to Tony. I knew from their eyes that they understood, but that didn't make this any easier. 

Since having Jace I had become extremely maternal, even to my work colleges. So knowing that I now had to fight these two kids whose pain was understandable broke my heart a little.

 Tony motions to the explosives below. "This was never my life."

Steve then speaks up wanting to get thing back on track. "You two can still walk away from this."

"Oh, we will." Wanda reassures him somewhat sassily. 

"I know you've suffered..." Ultron interrupts Steve my scoffing in disgust before chuckling "Captain America. God's righteous man. Pretending you can live without a war. I can't physically throw up in my mouth, but..."

"If you believe in peace, then let us keep it." Thor tries to fix the problem at hand with out violence. 

"I think you're confusing 'peace' with 'quiet' " Ultron state as he moves forward a little.  

"Uh-huh. What's the Vibranium for?" I knew Tony wouldn't be able to hold back his curiosity any longer. 

"I'm glad you asked that, because I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan" Ultron then  managed to pull Tony forward with some kind of magnetic force before throwing him backwards. The two then fly at each other before fighting. 

Steve and Thor then take on a suit each before Pietro uses his speed to push Thor out of the way. Wanda takes on Steve and I begin to destroy a few suits. I take a moment to look around at everything and for some reason this begin to slow down. I know it wasn't me doing it so I look to Jace and he has his hand held out his eyes wide with amazement. 

"Did you just discover a new power?" I question with surprise. 

"I think so momma"

"Try and keep it up" For some reason I was able to move at a normal speed so I use my shields to pull multiple suits together before filling the bubble with fire. The suits melt and I  compress them into a block before taking out the heat and dropping the lump of metal onto the ground.

"You can stop it now little cub" He melts the ice from around we so he can get off my back. I watch as he holds his hand out once more at concentrates for a moment. When nothing happens he looks over at my with panic. "I can't momma."

I kneel down next to him an pull him into my arms. "Calm down cub. Focus on my voice. I want you to imagine every how it was before you slowed time. picture Thor moving it he correct speed, Tony zooming across the sky. You've got this little cub. I know you do"

He takes a deep breath and nods before wiping his eyes on my shoulder. I ruffle his hair with a smile and he tries again. This time he simply closes his eyes and takes a few deep breathes.

He lifts his hand, palm out and fingers spread before moving hand to the side slightly. I notice he moves his hand in a clockwise motion as if turning time. I make a mental note of that for later and watch as everything begins to speed up in time for us to watch Pietro punch Steve in the face.
